From the conservation of mass, matter is not created nor destroyed. So ponder it this way, for example I put one piece of toast in a toaster, but when it is done I had two pieces, that makes no sense right? Same thing with a chemical reaction but in molecular terms, all things must stay constant. If you put a convinced amount you have to get that quantity back, not less or not more in broad terms.

A gas has a temperature of 273.15 K and a pressure of 101.325 kPa. What can be concluded about the gas? It has reached standard
Mandarinka [93]

Explanation:

A gas has a temperature of 273.15 K and a pressure of 101.325 kPa. It can be concluded that this gas has reached standard temperature and pressure.

Standard temperature is zero degree celcius which corresponds to 273.15 degree kelvin.

Standard pressure is 760 mmHg which corresponds to 101.325 kPa.

A student has two compounds in two separate bottles but with no labels on either one. One is an unbranched alkane, octane, C8H18
Aleks [24]

Answer:

a) both substances are insoluble in water

b) both substances are soluble in ligroin

c) both substances suffer combustion, octane produces more CO₂ than hexene.

d) both substances are less dense than waterl, with hexene having the lowest density.

e) only hexene would react with bromine

f)  only hexene would react with permanganate

Explanation:

a) both substances are non-polar and water is polar

b) both substances are non-polar and lingroin is non-polar

c) C₈H₁₈ + 17.5O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

    C₆H₁₂ + 9O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

d) water = 997 kg/m³

    ocatne = 703 kg/m³

    hexene = 673 kg/m³

e) bromine test is used to detect unsaturations

f) permanganate test is used to detect unsaturations

EASY 100 POINTS, WILL MARK BRAINLEST, 2 QUESTIONS, SHOW YOUR WORK OR NO POINTS
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Please provide the enthalpy info - I will work on it with the info

2.

i) Reaction a should be modified to match the number of S in equation:

 2S + 2O2 -> 2SO2     deltaH = -370kJ

ii) Reaction b should be written reversely to match the reactants of SO2:

 2SO2 + O2 -> 2SO3     deltaH = 256kJ

iii) Adding the equations together:

 2S + 3O2 -> 2SO3

iv) Enthalpy of the combined reaction = -370+256 = -114kJ

 It is negative so the reaction is exothermic.
